I know exactly what you are saying about not being able to listen to those abominations. I had to give them as much of a listen as I could and that wasn't very much of a listen either. The music is ruined and it made me feel queezy. What really sucks is the boneheads that laid down the new rythym tracks messed a lot of the parts where Randy's playing was integral to the music's rythym structure and that is total bullshit. It is one of the lousiest, shittiest and crappiest deals ever thought of and executed. I almost wish the Osbournes would have replaced Randy's tracks too, then there wouldn't be any of that tainted tarnish on the recorded music of his we do have.

Here's a good question...

Remastered BOO/DOAM or Living Loud?

Living Loud to be honest cos they give a new breath of fresh air into the songs.

Blech...I thought Living Loud was terrible.

I thought they did a great cover of Crazy Train, breaking expectations of what it originally was written. However, I do agree some of their "covers" were horrible. I do like some of the other stuff though

I heard Mr. Crowley and was...horrified.

I also heard I Don't Know, and I was still horrified. Maybe I should listen to their version of Crazy Train. The guy who does the vocals and the guy on guitar (I know their names in the back of my mind but can't think of them) really don't fit at all, IMHO.

Jimmy Barnes did vocals and Steve Morse did guitar

They dont do the same guitar solo on Crazy Train but its just interesting ya know? the ending of it i dont really care for but still a really good version

what is shiity for me as a drummer was that the drums really followed how Lee played them, so why bother re-doing them if the Drums didn't get free range?
